Chapter 229: Farmhouse

When the donkey cart arrived in the town, Zheng Chuan took the prey and got out of the cart first, and said to Xu Zifan: "We don't go along the way, I'll go to the restaurant."
Xu Zifan hurriedly said, "Follow the way, we have to go shopping every time we go to the town, so we can accompany you to sell prey first. You are too boring, why don't you go together?"
Zheng Chuan frowned, and flatly refused, "No, I have something to do, let's go."
Zheng Chuan turned around and left quickly, as if afraid that he would say anything more. Xu Zifan shook his head regretfully, and said to Xiaolian: "Let's go too, let's go and sell your embroidery work first."
Xiao Lian glanced at the big bamboo basket he was carrying, and shook her head hurriedly, "Brother, let's go and sell your things first. This is too heavy to carry. Should we go to the hospital or the library?"
"Medical hall, lest you go to other places where the smell of medicine is too strong." Xu Zifan decided after thinking about it, and the two said goodbye to the others and walked towards the medical hall.
Xu Zifan had walked around the town many times before, and he had long aimed at a medium-sized medical clinic-Ji Shitang. He went to the hospital and briefly explained that he wanted to sell medicinal materials, and an apprentice helped him weigh each medicinal material one by one. Xu Zifan has twelve kinds of medicinal materials, some are very cheap, and some are more expensive. The key is that he prepares them very well. They can be regarded as first-class medicinal materials and can be sold directly at the medical clinic, saving a lot of work. So these medicinal materials finally sold for a couple of silver and 300 yuan!
Xiao Lian was stunned when she watched by the side, and stammered: "Third brother... this, this, this can sell so much money?!"
Xu Zifan smiled, put the money into the money bag and stuffed her into her hands, and said with a smile: "The third brother goes to the mountains every day to collect medicine, and goes home so hard to cook. If you can't sell the money, will you lose?"
Xiao Lian blinked, wondering why this is a loss? Farmers working all over the world are so tired that they can only earn a few taels of silver a year? Xu Zifan made a couple of dollars in just two or three days, and this is too fast! Suddenly she developed a fanatical interest in medicinal materials, which is much better than embroidering and farming!
Xu Zifan said a few words to the apprentice, and asked in a low voice, "Is your master here? I want to apply for Mr. Accountant. It’s not easy to say here. I want to talk to your master in person, so I can show my ability. , Look... can you help me?"
The apprentice was taken aback, looked at the accountant who was making the calculation, hesitated. Xu Zifan stuffed him 20 yuan and said, "Just do a favor. I didn't want to rob someone for work. I just let your master know that there is such a person as me. You can think of me when you need it in the future."
In this case, it is all right. The apprentice naturally put the copper plate into his sleeve pocket and coughed lightly, "My master is busy behind, you wait for me to report."
"Okay, trouble me, brother."
After the apprentice went there, he said to his master that his master, the master of this medical clinic, Dr. Tong thought for a moment, and asked the apprentice to take Xu Zifan over. Doctor Tong was in his mid-fifties, he saw Xu Zifan look quickly, stroked his beard and said: "You want to come here to be Mr. Accountant? I think you are young, but what fame did you get?"
"Not yet, Doctor Tong, I am from Xiaxi Village. My name is Xu Zifan. I am studying now. I am going to take the exam for talents in half a year, but I still need to work hard to earn money for studying because I am shy in my pocket. I am very interested in medical skills. I have been studying for a few years. I think the best job for me is to work in a medical clinic. So I recommended myself and hoped that Dr. Tong would consider it.
Xu Zifan bowed his hand to Dr. Tong respectfully, with appropriate confidence in his words. .
Doctor Tong said: "You should know that my medical clinic already has Mr. Accountant, why come here to recommend yourself?"
Xu Zifan smiled, "Doctor Tong, forgive me, because I am interested in medical skills, I have to look at it every time I come to town. It happens that you have seen Mr. Accountant miscalculate the account twice, so I’m the first to come here to recommend myself. If Dr. Tong intends to change the account, please consider me first. Although I have not yet been admitted as a scholar, there is absolutely no problem with doing the accounting."
"Okay, then I will test you."
This is the second time Xu Zifan has heard this, but this is exactly what he wants. He has never been afraid of being tested, just because he has no chance to show his strength.
Doctor Tong took out paper and pen to write some trivial and messy daily accounts. Xu Zifan is a person who can score more than 700 points in the college entrance examination, and he is not forgetting, so he naturally calculated it quickly. It was more complicated and cumbersome for Dr. Tong to make the question again, but Xu Zifan used modern multiplication and division and some companies, and he figured it out almost when Dr. Tong finished writing.
Doctor Tong looked at him again, with a little appreciation in his eyes, and then began to test the properties of some of his medicinal materials and medical knowledge. Xu Zifan worked in the world of internet addiction school for 30 years. After retiring, he studied Chinese medicine for more than 20 years. After traveling for more than a month, he picked up all the knowledge. His medical skills are much higher than that of Dr. Tong. Of course, he would not be admitted. On the contrary, Dr. Tong became more surprised as he took the test. Finally he couldn't help but ask: "You are all self-taught? Read medical books and study yourself?"
Xu Zifan could only nodded cheeky, "Since I was studying, I have been interested in medical skills, but my previous goal was to take the imperial examination. I just silently read all the medical books I could come into contact with. After so many years, I did not expect to have It’s a great harvest. It’s just a pity that I have never had the opportunity to diagnose and treat others."
Dr. Tong started to cherish his talents and asked: "How sure are you in the examination of talents? I think if you are a doctor, you will definitely have a great talent. If you don't, you are really wasting such a good talent. "
Xu Zifan has also read exam books for more than a month, and he has searched for previous exam questions a few times. Although it is still a little bit worse, when he waits half a year for reference, he is 100% sure that he can pass the exam, so he said: "I I have great expectations for the examination of Xiucai, and my parents have always hoped that I can pass, but in the future, I want to be a doctor and treat people."
Doctor Tong nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "I will think about it for a few days, and when I make a decision, I will send my apprentice to find you. By the way, where to find you?"
Xu Zifan reported his address and said,
I’ve been collecting medicine in the mountains recently, and I will sell it after concocting it. I also help my father sell some bamboo products, and come to town every few days. If the medical clinic is busy, people cannot do without people. , You can tell me when I come."
"Well, let's see how it will be cheaper then."
Xu Zifan arched his hands and said, "Then I will go first, and I will also send the bamboo products my friend ordered, so I won't disturb Doctor Tong."
"Walk slowly." Doctor Tong watched him and Xiaolian leave, and invited his apprentice to ask, "What kind of medicinal materials did Xu Zifan sell just now? Bring me to see."
"Yes, Master."
This medicinal material was just received, but it was confiscated into the cabinet without careful inspection. The apprentice ran out and took all the medicinal materials that Xu Zifan had brought to Dr. Tong. Doctor Tong has carefully read each of them, and nodded in amazement: "You can learn to such a degree by self-study, this will become a great achievement in the future!"
The apprentice was surprised: "Master, didn't he say that he wants to be the clerk? Is he still studying medicine?"
"Naturally, or whose hands do you think such a good medicinal material comes from?" Doctor Tong stroked his beard and said, "There are talented people from generation to generation. If Xu Zifan is willing to study with great concentration and go on the right path, he will probably be able to become this circle. The most famous person in Baili."
"Master, you have such a high opinion of him, do you... Wouldn't you want to accept him as a disciple? Then he is my junior?" The apprentice widened his eyes, wondering if he should be jealous of his talent or be more happy in the future Errands.
Doctor Tong glanced at him, tapped his finger on his head, "Daydreaming, he is more than enough to be your master." Doctor Tong waved his hand and said, "Okay, I have checked all the medicinal materials in the storage cabinet and will test your homework later. ."
The apprentice suddenly wailed, "Master, I just took the test yesterday, but today?"
Doctor Tong looked at him with a hatred of iron and steel, "When he first tested Xu Zifan as a teacher, he was very good at answering. Can you stand up? Hurry up!"
The apprentice drooped his head and picked up the medicinal materials and walked slowly back. Doctor Tong shook his head, pacing in the yard with his hands behind his back, and finally felt that he could not push the talent elsewhere. There are only three decent medical clinics in the town, and his clinic is in the middle. If Xu Zifan goes to the last-class one, he is likely to help that one catch up with his. If Xu Zifan goes to the first-class one, it will be like a tiger. Home can't catch up even more.
Only by keeping Xu Zifan at his own home, can he be farther away from the last-class one and strive to surpass the first-class one. He suddenly stroked his beard and chuckled. No wonder Xu Zifan came to him first if he didn't go to those two houses. Xu Zifan would have expected him to think so. Coupled with the elderly accountant, he really had a better chance here. some.
No one would dislike such a smart and motivated person. Doctor Tong decided to keep Xu Zifan without considering how long. However, I still need to find a suitable explanation and opportunity to dismiss the accountant, so as not to make everyone unhappy, it is not in a hurry. Doctor Tong called his apprentice over again and told him to go to the town academy to look for Xu Zifan, and told Xu Zifan that he was allowed to come to the hospital to work, but he had to wait a few days until the hospital had handled the favors. The time limit was no more than five days.
The apprentice hurried to the academy. Xu Zifan hadn't left for a long time. Just after he sold more than a dozen ornaments to the students in the academy, the apprentice arrived. Xu Zifan was not surprised when he heard what he told him, and smiled: "Thank you for running this time. Please accept this tea money."
Xu Zifan took out another 20 cents, the apprentice waved his hand quickly, and took out the 20 cents collected before and stuffed them to Xu Zifan, "Brother Xu, take it back soon, and we will work together in the future. How can I collect your money? "
Xu Zifan pushed it to him, "You helped me a lot, and came to tell me such important news with great effort. This is what it should be, so take it soon."
"No, no, no, I can't take it, really can't take it." The apprentice pushed him hard, stepped back a few steps, and waved his hand, "Big Brother Xu, we will be our own in the future, although we have no chance to be brothers. , But it's also much closer than outsiders. Master has always taught me this way, and it must be good to my own people. So I really can't collect this money, I can't-oops!"
The apprentice patronized and retreated. He didn't see a small stone on the ground. He stepped on it and threw a big ass! The pain makes my face wrinkled!
Xiao Lian laughed out loud and quickly covered her mouth and hid behind Xu Zifan. The apprentice made such a big pity, his face flushed, he got up and patted his and whispered: "Brother Xu, then, that's okay, I'll go back first!" After saying that, he ran quickly, and didn't look up from the beginning to the end .
Xiao Lian poked her head out from behind Xu Zifan to take a look, and walked out and said: "Brother, am I rude?"
Xu Zifan nodded, "It's kind of, but I know you didn't mean it, so remember to apologize next time."
"I know the third brother." Xiaolian remembered what the apprentice had just said, and looked at Xu Zifan with bright eyes and smiled, "third brother, you can go to the hospital in the future? Wouldn't you have a job in town? Mr. Accountant , It seems very decent! And the doctor Tong likes you very much, saying that you have great achievements in the future, will he let you treat others in his hospital? Then you can be a doctor ?"
Xu Zifan laughed and said: "Which one do you want me to answer when you ask so many questions at once? I don't know exactly how it is. Anyway, it is a very right step, but if I work in the medical clinic, it will be inconvenient to go home everyday. It’s very wrong to be far away from my parents. This matter needs to be carefully arranged. Don’t talk about it when you go back."
